Mzansi, brace yourselves! We need to talk about Nicki Minaj’s interesting decision to register all her properties under her husband, Kenneth Petty’s, name. I mean, don’t we all love and trust our partners? But trust in the 21st century seems to have taken on a whole new meaning, and here we are, questioning whether the queen of rap is just following her heart—or if there’s something a little more… magical at play.
Let me break it down: Nicki, with a net worth over $160 million, has handed over her hard-earned assets to her husband, whose worth doesn’t come close to hers. While Nicki says it’s all love and trust, some of us can’t help but wonder: is this trust or korobela? Yes, that love potion your gogo warned you about—one that’ll have you doing backflips for someone who may not deserve your trust.
But here’s the kicker, in Nicki’s own words from Pills N Potions, she’s seen it all before. Remember when she spit, “He ain’t earned that yet”? Makes you wonder, has Kenneth really earned that level of trust? Or has some invisible “potion” been stirred into their relationship? After all, love potions are all about portions—just like her lyrics say. Sometimes it feels like someone’s portioning out just a little too much of your heart without them actually earning it. Could Nicki have served up more than her man deserved, without knowing it?
Now, before you dismiss me as paranoid, let’s not forget about Tyrese. This man went on a very public tirade, crying on Instagram about the woman he blindly trusted. One minute you’re head over heels, and the next, you’re livestreaming your heartbreak for all of us to see. Could Nicki be headed down the same road? We really hope not, but if korobela has anything to do with it, she might not even know what hit her!
And speaking of smart moves, let’s not forget the wise soccer player who decided to register all his assets under his mother’s name. Now that’s a strategy! Nicki might want to consider a similar game plan. We’re not saying she has to hand over everything to Papa Bear just yet, but keeping a little something aside—maybe in the family—never hurt anyone. Love and trust are beautiful, but you’ve got to play a little defense too. Because in the world of fame, trust sometimes fades faster than that last season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Superstition aside, it’s hard not to think of the possibilities. Imagine Nicki waking up one day and realizing that all her bank notifications are going to Kenneth’s account—only to realise she’s been sipping something from the wrong cup. South Africa has had its fair share of love potions and, let’s just say, some poor souls woke up a little too late.
But hey, Nicki swears that it’s pure love and trust. Still, we can’t help but raise our eyebrows and wonder—could this be the 21st-century korobela at work?
Only time will tell if the queen will reign supreme over her kingdom or if she’s dancing to the beat of a tune someone else is playing. Watch this space.
